Stanford found in Cornell, rather than in Harvard, Yale, Johns Hopkins, or Michigan, the nearest existing approach to his own ideal. It was Ezra Cornell's hope *'to found an institution where any person could find instruction in any study." Cornell and Stanford, in so far as they are loyal to these traditions, know neither favored students nor favored studies. No class of men are chosen to the ex- clusion of others, and no class of studies is given a fallacious importance through force of acade...mic pressure or through inertia of academic tradition. While various kinds of knowledge are of varying worth to different persons, each has its own value to the world, and the value to the indi- vidual must be determined in each case by itself. The uni- versity should be no respecter of persons. It is not called on to approve or condemn the various orders of genius that come to it for training. There has been no greater hin- drance to educational progress than the hierarchy of studies, the fiction that certain kinds of work had an invisible value not to be measured by tangible results.
